ladyspriteApparently the antidote - for me, at least - for blue moods, mopiness, and the bad-weather doldrums is suddenly needing to learn choreography.
Or maybe it's just the fact that it's impossible to be grumpy and bitter when you've spent the past hour watching the video for 'Thriller' over and over and over again, ten seconds at a time, while alternating between mimicking the steps and trying to jot them down while figuring out how to describe them in a way that you'll recognize and remember, ending up with a sheet of paper covered in passages like:
Claw, claw, shimmy x 4 repeat
Zombie arms - step x3, turn, turn, repeat
Jump, windmill arms, flop and up, flop and up
Groove x 2, turn - repeat
Reach, windmill, air guitar
Stupid hip bob x 4, holla x 4, kung fu x 4
Shamble in a half circle x 8, shamble forward x 10
Not exactly my usual notation, but it works. And, dork-tastic as it is, it's just silly enough to cut through any bad mood. It's like penguins that way.....

Date: 2009-07-02 02:13 am (UTC)The other day I was laid up with an ear infection and in a FOUL mood. Then I started flipping through the cable channels to find something to watch, praying Ninja Warrior was on. It wasn't. I ended up watching a 5 hour BatB marathon instead.
And of course, they only show episodes I considered not the best--the last 4 from before Catherine gets killed off and the first one with what's her face..Catherine's replacement.
